Anger is a natural part of divorce, but what if it’s not something to suppress or fear, but a tool for healing? This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes psychotherapist, speaker, and author Bronwyn Schweigerdt, host of Angry at the Right Things to speak about why anger is actually a good thing. In fact, Bronwyn believes anger isn’t a problem to fix but a guide leading us toward clarity, boundaries, and emotional freedom.
In this episode, Bronwyn helps us reframe our relationship with anger and how suppressing it can fuel anxiety, depression, and even physical illness. She also shares practical techniques, like the ‘fantasy letter’ exercise, to process anger in a healthy way.
If you’ve ever struggled with anger, your own or an ex’s, we hope this conversation will help you rethink anger and maybe even embrace it as a force for good. Anger can be a tool for healing and self-trust.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Why anger is a warning light, not a flaw—and how to listen to it.
- The hidden impact of suppressed anger on your body.
- How building a healthy relationship with anger can transform your emotional well-being.
- Boundaries, assertive communication, and accountability can help you move through anger with confidence.
